Buffett warned. While no one can accurately predict the probability of another Sept.11, or of related perils such as the explosion of a nuclear device or biological and chemical attacks, Buffett stated that, “The probability of such mind-boggling disasters, though likely very low at present, is not zero.” He feels that the probabilities are actually increasing, and that “the war against terrorism can never be won. The best the nation can achieve is a long succession of stalemates. There can be no checkmate against hydra-headed foes.“ He also sees such attacks as causing “astronomical workers’ compensation claims." Well, we ALL know that a possibility has always been there WRT Nukes. We all suspect that a War on Terrorism can't be won, only held in abeyance. But I did find that last point about WC claims interesting. insurancejrnl.com
